Avionics Power Questions
-
So the -1 says:
MMC - enables power to the Modular Mission Computer (old FCC).
ST STA - enables power to the Store Stations (old SMS).
MFD - enables power to the Multi-Function Displays.
UFC - enables power for the Up Front Controls.
MAP – is not wired, has no function but can be moved.
DL - enables power to the data link receiver.Only MFD and UFC appear to be using callbacks.
MMC; ST STA; and DL do not appear to be using callbacks as far as I can tell – does anyone know if these are being used or not in 4.34?
I’m building a universal instrument panel so that it’s easier to fly the other aircraft in the game. As part of this project I am trying to eliminate switches that aren’t being used.
Thanks.

Did you check it in the pit?
Do try.
You might find some nice surprisesIt’s such a delight to fly something as cooked as the BMS Falcon after spending some time in the DCS Hornet where things work as you described, sometimes.

The callbacks are on page 61. Simfcc…. Simsms… simdl… Did these not work?

Okay the reason I got confused was I was searching in the BMS - Full.key for “MMC” “ST STA” and “DATA” etc instead of “FCC” “SMS” and “DL Switch” which would have got me there. That is why I was saying they don’t “appear” to work. I always turn all the switches on for a ramp start and they are always on for taxi. Plus, I’ve never turned them off and watched the SMS page go blank, etc. so I never saw what them effect the aircraft. Nor did I think to look for the callback on the next page of the -1. Well that’s embarrassing.
Anyway, so yeah I’m thinking I’m going to need those switches for my universal panel. Yeesh, I’m going to have to buy stock in Toggle Switches R Us and recoup some of this investment.

No worries, I’m glad you got it sorted out.
